Nationals Topple Cardinals with Late Rally
The St. Louis Cardinals got a superb performance from right fielder Brett Phillips. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Washington. The Nationals won the game, 11-9.

Washington reliever Alex Reyes was credited with the win, to go to 3-2. Zac Reininger took the loss for St. Louis. At 71-49, the Nationals find themselves in first place in the National League East Division.

Tom Murphy chipped in for Washington with a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Murphy told the Washington Observer.
